Very dirty, it was really rerrible. Noise until 4am and then the sound of tables and chairs being moved. A very poor hotel, perhaps with the concessions of a two-star hotel. There wasn't even any hand-wash liquid.

I can only tell about my experience. NOT good at all. Even though the owner spoke with us on the second day, at the first night we had a terrible room poorly maintened and with different arrengements from the one we book. On the second day, the owner made an attemp to fix issues, but new fails shotly after reappeared. We had no water for na whole night, along with eletric blackouts. Staff are ok, but very limited with english, to a point they're unable to assist. Istambul is great, but I couldnt just ignore how amateur the hotel was. Pera Center has potential, but they need to improve a lot to.become acceptable

Misleading advertising

My stay was not bad. However, not as expected. While booking through you portal it was mentioned that there is airport transfer service which I found later through hotel staff that they never provide such services. That means the information provided was misleading

Uncourteous and no professionalism demeanor

Requested to continue my stay and was given a rate for additional days. The following day when trying to pay for the room, was asked for a higher rate and when questioned why higher amount, option of either payment or checking out immediately. This approach was not only unprofessional but displayed a total disregard to those who sustains the hospitality of Turkey, on which a big share of the economy rests. I choose to pay much higher at another hotel that should regard and value to its customers....

Die Ortschaft von dem Hotel war Super, Sauberkeit geht noch in Ordnung. Die Mitarbeiter am Rezeption waren Katastrophe, ich habe ein Transfer Reserviert und auch am gleichen Tag wollte ich es wieder Absagen aus einem Notfall Grund da mein Aufenthalt in der Türkei verlängert hat. Der erste Mitarbeiter Telefonierte rum und richtete uns wenn wir uns nächsten Tag melden könnten wir es Absagen daraufhin meldete ich mich wieder am Rezeption und der wollte es einfach nicht verstehen und war 0 Hilfreich und meinte das er es nicht Absagen könnte aber die Tage oder Zeiten ändern könnte woraufhin ich ihm gesagt habe das ich nicht mehr in Istanbul sein werde und meine Ortschaft ändern muss woraufhin er trotzdem den Transfer nicht Abgesagt hat und 5 min. davor an die Türe klopft und meinte das der Transfer gekommen ist aber irgendwo in einer Ecke im Taksim steht unter Transfer verstehe ich auch was anders. Da ich das Geld Vorbezahlt habe haben sie das Geld behalten 900 TL. (45 CHF). Reiner Verarschung.

Wir sind zum 3. mal in diesem Hotel. Hatten die ersten 2mal ein super Zimmer bekommen was ich diesmal auch vermutet hatte aber statt dessen haben die uns ein winziges Zimmer gegeben wo wir noch nicht mal Platz für unsere Koffer hatten. Für mich war das ein Economy Zimmer. Obwohl ich das nicht gebucht habe.Das Frühstück hat sich auch verschlechtert. Bin sehr enttäuscht!!

Hotel location is perfect, only 3-4 min to reach Taxim Station. The receptionist who was available when we arrived in the night was unhelpful, and gave us smaller room, not the one we booked online. But the next day we met with his Manager Mr. Elhan, who was really very helpful and friendly. Honestly, Mr. Elhan made our stay comfortable. Thank you very much.

Die Zimmer haben jedoch kein richtiges Bad, sondern eine mit einer Glaswand abgetrennte Dusche/ WC / Waschbecken, sehr klein. Es gibt keik deutsches oder englisches TV, nur türkisch.
